EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online takes us back to the early 20th century, providing a glimpse into the historical transportation methods used in coal mining. The image showcases blinkered pit-horses diligently drawing coal wagons along a wooden railway at an unidentified colliery. The scene appears extremely precarious, as the wooden rail seems fragile under the weight of the wagons. As we observe these hardworking ponies, it's impossible not to wonder if they can see where they are going. Their blinders restrict their vision, adding an element of danger to their task. However, despite this potential hazard, these horses continue with unwavering determination. The photograph offers a fascinating insight into the history of mining and its reliance on animal labor during that era. It serves as a reminder of how far our industrial practices have evolved over time. Let's hope that amidst this challenging environment, both for man and beast alike, accidents were few and far between. This image invites us to reflect on the courage and resilience exhibited by those involved in such dangerous industries throughout history.
